The way you've described your coverts and the obvious reverence you have for both the land and the birds (not to mention that fine pup of yours), I'm guessing you "bagged" quite a bit on this hunt.

I'm sitting at home tending my to cancer patients and would rather be hunting, so keep your posts coming. A vicarious hunt is better than no hunt at all. Thanks for taking the time to share your hunts.

Grace just stirred up a ground yellow jacket nest. We both got stung a lot...

I need to go back there and fetch my little 28 ga. Skeet gun... after that area cools down a bit.

I ran over one in my backyard onetime on my lawn tractor - killed the blades, throttled to the max and popped the clutch - and still got the h**l stung out of me!

Go back and hose those yellerjackets down with dish soap in water. Very effective at killing them. Faster than Raid. Glad you're getting out Dean. I've only seen one ruffie in our neighborhood this summer... and that was yesterday. It's also 29deg with a hvy frost and some dusting snow on the ground. My roof water tanks will get emptied today after one last binge of laundry.

I went back and got my gun...

This hurts a LOT more than all the stings I got all over my forearms.

I'm sure it did! Oh my! That pic didn't come up when I first looked at your post. Damn. Painful for sure.

I got into a nest like that here in my woods while cutting firewood. Those bad boys got all over my back and head and chased me 150ft back to the house and stung me up pretty good. I sprayed the nest down so I could get in and get my chainsaw, which was sitting on the ground running for half an hour. Then I got my weed burner out and as the foragers came back looking for the nest I wing shot them with the weed burner. Talk about satisfying! I kept it up until there wasn't a single one left.

Hurt pride and burning stings but we’re both okay.
